ICT IS THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION

From my point of view the world is changing and ICT will be the future of education. Nowadays, ICT is starting to be introduced in schools, and in a few years we can be able to learn and study with new tecnologies.
We can use smart boards, computers, projectors and electronic books.

On the one hand, to work and learn with new tecnologies is a great and positive change because chindren will be more motivated to learn.
On the other hand, we must not forget books and other regular material we use now.
However we can work with both, new tecnologies and paperbased books.

In my opinion it is something positive that ICT are being introduced into schools because it is a new way of working and it is positive for children and for teachers.

WRITING AN EMAIL

Dear Maria.
I want to tell about my first year at college and my experience there.
My first year at college was very interesting because I met a lot of new people.

My college is very small, and everybody, pupils and teachers know each other.
But, in contrast, the first year was very hard because I had a lot of subjects, I had to study so hard and I also worked  in a tobacconist’s shop.

Now, I’m in my third year. This year is being good for me because I don’t  have a lot of subjects. This semestre I have only three subjects, two of English and one of Reflection.
Next year I will finish my studies and I will tell news you.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Lots of Love.

Ali.

CHALLENGING NEW TECHNOLOGIES

From my point of view, ICT are a new challenge for everyone and we have to get used to them. New technologies are forcing us to be continually changing, because there is always something new to learn.
I believe in the use of ICT in education but I don’t think that they can be the only
resource for the teacher. Teachers and schools that make use of  new technologies need to have a good knowledge of them and also they need to be motivated to use them. Resources and equipment need to be adequate.
Since new technologies first appeared, schools have had to incorporate them into their teaching process. With new technologies we can also evaluate, not just the results, the exams or the projects. Teachers should evaluate the progress in learning day by day.
In a classroom, in order to work with new technologies we can use computers, a smart board, a projector, etc. For this reason, teachers need to be ready to make a good use of ICT so that they are useful both for students and teachers.

ABOUT ME

My name is Alicia and I live with my boyfriend in San Antonio. When I was a child I lived with my father, my mother and my sister.

In summer I work in a tobacconist's shop. Now, I am studying at university and this is the third year of the program. I have got lessons every Monday, Thursday and Friday and the other days of the week I ride a bicycle, read books and listen to music.

When I was a child I did athletics three times a week, now I like athletics but I don't have any time. Another thing that I liked to do when I was a child was going to the beach with my uncle, who worked there.
